I have a note of a Pte. G. Hanstock serving in No 2 Commando. Can you confirm any family connection to to Mexborough in Yorkshire and do you have a photo of your Grandfather?

Regards

I'd be interested in hearing those stories as my dad was in No.4 but volunteered to fight with No.2 at Salerno and Sicily. It's amazing how even one snippet of information can help others in their research.]]> https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20714.page https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20714.page GMT
The Commando on the right as you look at the photo is Doug Webster who ended the war as a Sergeant. He served in 4 troop and 1 troop of No 2 Commando.

We have a good panorama image of 2 Commando in 1945 which if clicked on enlarges to be able to identify people easily. Not everyone from 2 Commando is in there, but worth looking at to see if you can spot your grandfather. Also look through the album maked 4 troop but bear in mind they were moved sometimes to other troops. Here is the link to the panorama

I will post your photo into our gallery in due course.]]> https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20715.page https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20715.page GMT

The camp was below the gardens, the car park for the cable car now occupies the site.

I've just seen the date on the newsletter - that's the day after my 9th birthday ... about the time dad went up to Fort William for the November service. He'd previously been on the Lost Legions list but had been to Flushing a few times.

Please have a look and see if he's mentioned anywhere, or if you have photos from any Fort William/Spean Bridge events. Dad's name was George Francis Harris - I'd love to find information from that weekend. Not sure of the year but that would be close.]]> https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20730.page https://forum.commandoveterans.org/cdoForum/posts/preList/5516/20730.page GMT
